Bufo terrestris

In 1849 (Appendix p. 15) Holbrook gives both Bufo lentiginosus Shaw and 

 Bufo erythronotus Holbrook as of Georgia. In 1854 Girard (p. 56, p. 86) Usts 

 Bufo americanus LeConte, Bufo lentiginosus Holbrook with Bufo erythronotus 

 as a synonym, Bufo woodhousii Girard, Bufo cognatus Say, etc. He was 

 nearer the situation than LeConte in 1855 (1856, p. 430) who gives B. musicus 

 Daudin {B. lentiginosus Holbrook), Bufo americanus, B. erythronotus. His 

 comment that Girard is wrong in referring B. erythronotus to Bufo lentiginosus 

 may be on a par with his placing Bufo cognatus in Bufo muscicus. DeKay 

 (1842, p. 68) gives both Bufo lentiginosus and Bufo erythronotus each distinct, 

 also Bufo cognatus as distinct and all three as extralimital to New York State. 

 Only Bufo americanus does he credit to New York. 



In 1858 Albert Gunther (p. 63) gives Bufo lentiginosus as consisting of two 

 varieties "Var. A. Bufo americanus .... Bony ridges moderate, but swollen 

 behind and "Var. B. Bufo musicus .... Bony ridge swollen behind. 



In 1882 Boulenger (pp. 306-310) gives Bufo lentiginosus as having 5 

 subspecies, namely, Var. A. americanus (quercicus, woodhousii, etc.), Var. B. 

 musicus (lentiginosus), Var. C. frontosus, Var. D. cognatus, Var. E. fowler i. 

 His Var. B. musicus (lentiginosus) is with "Supraorbital ridges swollen behind, 

 and produced beyond the angle of the postorbitals; subarticular tubercles 

 generally simple; metatarsal tubercles moderate." Yarrow, 1882, (pp. 23, 

 164-167) gives the same five forms of Bufo lentiginosus. Cope (1886, pp. 

 515, 516) has Bufo cognatus separate from Bufo lentiginosus complex and 

 describes Bufo hemiophrys. His B. lentiginosus he has as "B. 1. fowleri .... 

 Canadian and Hudsonian districts of eastern region." Bufo 1. woodhouseii 

 . . . Central region. Bufo 1. americanus . . . eastern and Austroriparian 

 regions." "Bufo 1. lentiginosus . . . Austroriparian region." 



In 1896 Rhoads (p. 396) in Tennessee took "Bufo lentiginosus (Shaw) 

 Southern Toad. Specimens from Southern Tennessee approach nearly to 

 those found in the Gulf States but the majority are intermediates .... 

 On Roan Mt. he found B. lentiginosus americanus at 5,000-6,300 feet.
